Overview

  • Cam Ward, a former zero-star recruit, is projected to be the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, following a record-breaking season at Miami under coach Mario Cristobal.
  • The Tennessee Titans have announced their decision to retain the first overall pick, solidifying their plan to make Ward their new starting quarterback.
  • Titans officials have emphasized that Will Levis remains part of their quarterback room and will continue to develop alongside Ward.
  • Mario Cristobal has praised Ward’s leadership, work ethic, and ability to elevate his team, calling him a 'program changer' and an ideal quarterback.
  • Several other Miami Hurricanes players, including tight end Elijah Arroyo and wide receiver Xavier Restrepo, are expected to be drafted, though Restrepo’s stock may have dipped due to a slower Pro Day performance.
